The series produced in Austria in 1966-72 with Josef Meinrad as "Pater Brown" closely follows the crime stories of the English author G. K. Chesterton.

Programming instruction

With "Swing-Beat" I want to suggest that the present style "stays" in these two areas - even if the whole thing is handled very generously. The structure is not a standard style! But you can try it with a beat and a swing from the style supply chamber. The swing part is always present when a triolic game is present - here only in Main 2 with the mute guitar and bass parts. Main 1, on the other hand, is a "straight" quarter beat - or even quarter swing! The two organ parts are to be designed as "rotor" and "perc." organs - whereby the rotor-organ sound could also be coupled with a synth-brass sound (notation verse with two organs, notation verse 2 with organ+synth-brass).
